10 dumbest job interview moves

The job hunter said he should get the job because he had already applied three times and he felt that it was now his turn to be hired.

I think some of these are creative but others may think preposterous and pretentious.

c'mon... I love the 10 Gallon hat....

I had a guy once.. who answered "yes" to everything... I think he was the inspiration for Jim carrey's latest movie... entertaining interview for me (and quick).. if not that informative

ie.. what is your ideal job? "yes"
how would your friends and family describe you to me? "yes"
are you going to say anything but yes in the meeting? "yes"
what? "yes" I think you get the point....

BTW his wife and child were waiting in reception for us

Or how about the candidate of mine who when in an interview with IBM, decided to tell them that he thought IBM sttod for "Idiots Become Managers". They didn't offer him a job for some reason
